I read The Chronicles of Narnia when I was in the 2nd grade and it is still one of my favorites.

What is the Catholic understanding of the natural moral order -- the system of cause and effects flowing from the moral law?

[@matthewstokes1608]

Please remember that for Lewis - like myself, an Anglican /Church of England of OLD - was writing as a “catholic” Christian… The old CofE was NOT a protestant faith such as Lutheranism or any of that … Canterbury and the KJV Bible and 39 Articles were vehemently catholic as a Church with very llittle separation between Anglicanism and the Mother Church of Rome… Confession (becoming group confession or available as a practice for special request by an individual and punished less by penance and more an act of forgiveness through repentance) - is the one of the few differences… The rest is hugely exaggerated. This is why C S Lewis is still so upheld as a profoundly Christian figure/mind by successive Roman Catholic Popes and leading figures. The schism is DONE… It happened whether you think it necessary or not. But The Church of England was founded because of an obsessive earthly king believing he was there by grace and will of God - not to follow Luther et al! This is why the Englishman is closest in his heart to the Roman Catholic - even if it became part of the Nation that seemed by flag alone part of God’s plan for mankind- as patriotic and perhaps mad as this may sound now.

St. Thomas Aquinas was a great metaphysician but not a great theologian (at least in contrast to such figures as Gregory of Nyssa and Maximus the Confessor). Aquinas, as a cold-blooded predestinarian, held some of the worst theological positions in the history of the church, although some of these were conditioned by his illustrious antecedent, Augustine. No, we were not collectively involved in the guilt of Adam (a totally incoherent notion) and no, God does not offer efficacious grace to some but withholds it from others; and, again, no, the blessed in heaven do not look on the sufferings of those in hell delighting in God's justice! Aquinas should not be treated as an almost infallible source of theology!

I think I’ll stick with St. Aquinas, the Angelic Doctor.

@@HailChristTheKing You can stick with Thomas Aquinas- but you _ought_ to acknowledge his errors, since we follow Christ, not Aquinas. And he did make errors.
